Upper ball joint replacement/install?
I was getting the front end aligned today and it turns out my upper ball joints are worn. I am going to try and tackle the job myself. I can get the parts for about $75 a side from fordparts.com. What all am I going to need to do to get this job done? What needs to be done? All tips and hints and how-to's would be appreciated.

Really easy to do. Jack up truck from the frame. Take the wheel and tire off. Undo the bolt from upper ball joint and hit spindle with a hammer until the ball joint pops free. Unbolt the 2 bolts holding UCA to frame. Then reverse everything. Use a jack under the LCA to get the upper ball joint into position and hold the spindle and UCA tight to keep the ball joint from spinning while you tighten the nut. Then get it aligned. Maybe 1/2 hr per side.
